PV150Solar Installation Test Kit

SOLAR

The world’s first all-inclusive solar PV specificinstallation electrical safety testing kit, nowwith SolarlinkTM and USB connectivity.The PV150 Solar Installation Test Kit includes all of the tools needed to determine theelectrical safety and performance of photovoltaic installations in line with MCS and BS EN62446 requirements.

The kit is based around the Solar Installation PV150, which combines all test functionsrequired to meet MCS and BS EN 62446 into one safe, easy-to-use, hand-held device. Theaddition of USB and wireless SolarlinkTM connectivity makes the PV150 the most versatile,safe and technically advanced solar PV tester on the market.

Transforming the way that PV systems are tested, the PV150 replaces the three separateinstruments which are ordinarily used for commissioning tests; combining earth continuity,insulation resistance, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, operating current (usingsupplied AC/DC current) and DC operating power test functions into one handheld unit. Thekit includes MC4 and Sunclix test adaptors which enable quick, safe and easy connection ofthe tester to the PV modules, strings or array.

As well as a comprehensive range of electrical test functions, the PV150 has memory to storeup to 200 complete test records with USB connectivity to enable these to be quickly andeasily downloaded to a PC. When coupled with Seaward’s SolarCert Elements softwareprogram (supplied separately) professional test certificates and reports can be created.

The PV150 tester features new SolarlinkTM connectivity which further improves the versatility ofthe instrument. Using Seaward SolarlinkTM, the PV150 can wirelessly capture and record real-time irradiance, ambient temperature and PV module temperature measurements from theSolar Survey 200R (supplied separately). This means that you can take all measurements, asrequired by MCS and BS EN 62446 standards, simultaneously.
